We all experienced something new tonight. The first annual speed cup stacking tournament. This first ever event drew 65+ grade schoolers from all over the Shawnee Mission district to compete on who can stack cups the quickest. This is a relatively new sporting event that Nina tells me will be on ESPN in no time.
She competed in the "cycle" portion of the competition against kids in her age group of 9-10 yrs. I've never seen youngsters stack cups so quickly. Nina's best time of 22.44 sec won her third place. Mark and I couldn't be prouder. We plan on celebrating with a trip to Sheridians tomorrow night!!
Nina and I also traveled up to Lincoln, NE over the weekend for my sister's baby shower. I decided to get creative for once in my life and made her a diaper cake. It wasn't so hard to do but very tedious to figure out how to put the little side decorations on. For my first time, I didn't think it looked too bad. 
Monica received lots of very nice gifts and we had a great time at the shower.

Looks like Mark was speed-stacking beers in the adjacent photo!
Congratulations to Nina! We are so proud of her!
Barb, I love the diaper cake-I'm impressed! It is so cute! I haven't seen one in a looong time :-) Sally
Believe it or not, I've seen it on TV too. Nina might just be the next one :)
Way to go on that cake. I'm TOTALLY impressed.
Look at all of your comments!! Now, if I could just get people to delurk themselves on our site!
Can't wait for this weekend. Should be a really fun time and as Mark's dad said, he can practice his speed stacking beers with Justin and Hacke!
